Waterville Valley invites skiers and snowboarders to join in raising funds for Boarding for Breast Cancer on Feb, 1.

The day kicks off with a Pink Rail Jam at noon. Registration for the Pink Jam is 8 to 10 a.m. The $40 registration fee, ($25 for Threedom pass holders), includes a terrain park lift ticket, goodie bags stuffed with event sponsor swag, and a raffle ticket for the pink raffle. The money will go toward the resort's donation to B4BC.

Pink raffle tickets will be sold throughout the day Saturday Jan. 31 and all day Sunday Feb. 1 for the "Ultimate Women's Set-ups" donated by Burton, Flow, Salomon, Atomic, Roxy, Forum, Rome, Forum, Nitro Rossignol, and products from Thule, Oakley, Smith Optics, Spyder, Merrell, Eastern Boarder, NH Old School, and Volcom. Raffle tickets cost $2 a piece or six for $10. You do not need to be present to win.

Waterville Valley employees also are participating by pledging an hour or more of their pay to B4BC. Last year over 180 employees pledged adding to the grand total of $8,000 raised.

Boarding For Breast Cancer (B4BC) is a non-profit, youth-focused education, awareness, and fundraising foundation. Their mission is to increase awareness about breast cancer, the importance of early detection and the value of an active lifestyle.
